Sewer Line Repair in Lincoln University, PA
In Lincoln University the sewer lateral — the run from the house to the public main — belongs to whoever owns the property, not to the utility. There are 3,310 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1997 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Solvent-welded PVC or ABS is almost certainly what lies beneath a typical property in Lincoln University, whose housing dates from around 1997. Plastic neither corrodes nor gives roots a joint to enter, so a repeating backup there is about fall rather than material.

What went in the ground around 1997
A lateral laid in Lincoln University in that period is most likely PVC or ABS, solvent-welded, and effectively immune to corrosion and to roots at the joint. A repeated backup here points at fall and alignment, not material. More on plastic laterals.
What a camera survey should settle here
Solvent-welded pipe rarely fails at the joint, so the survey is measuring fall and looking for standing water. The full picture on plastic laterals.
